Entrapment prevents healing

Hypoxia prevents healing

In many chronic wounds, there is a prolonged undersupply of oxygen to the tissue (hypoxia). This rapidly leads to a slowing or stagnation of wound healing processes, since numerous molecular

Liposome Entrapment of Bacteriophages Improves Wound Healing in a Diabetic Mouse MRSA Infection

Diabetic populations are more prone to developing wound infections which results in poor and delayed wound healing. Infection with drug resistant organisms further worsen the situation, driving searches for alternative treatment approaches such as phage therapy. Major drawback of phage therapy, however, is low phage persistence in situ, suggesting further refinement of the approach. In the pres...

Entrapment Neuropathies

Peripheral neuropathy is defined as deranged function and structure of peripheral, motor, sensory, and autonomic neurons, involving either the entire neuron or selected levels. The major categories of peripheral neuropathies are seen in Table 28-1. Because this chapter is concerned with nerve problems seen in the foot that are most amenable to local treatment, only the last four categories are ...

Entrapment neuropathies.

Compression neuropathy includes a heterogeneous group of focal neuropathy syndromes related to peripheral nerve compression. Although acute or chronic compression-related injury may occur in essentially any peripheral nerve, certain anatomic considerations may predispose certain nerves to intrinsic or extrinsic compression-related injury. The clinical presentations of specific compression or en...
